Topic: Post Your Music Collection

I was looking through the board earlier, and I didn't see a topic like this one, so I figured I might as well post one.

So what does everybody here listen to in addition to Polysics? Myself, I tend to like a lot of older rock (mostly), but I'll listen to just about anything I consider good. I have a bit of an eclectic collection...

A fairly comprehensive list from my iTunes, including only performers / bands I have 3 or more songs from:

Andreas Waldetoft (classical; composes music for Paradox Interactive games)Apollo (Nashville-area blues group that a college friend of mine plays in)BadfingerBay City RollersThe Beach BoysThe BeatlesThe Bee GeesBillie Davis (British '60s "Northern Soul" idol singer; never really popular, but I like some of her stuff)Blue Oyster Cult (not a big metal fan, but I make an exception for them)Bob DylanBob MarleyBrave Saint Saturn ("space rock" band from the guy behind Five Iron Frenzy)Buddy HollyCat StevensChicagoThe Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem (Irish traditional folk)Coldplay (yeah...)Dave Clark FiveDean MartinDevoDonovanThe DoorsEast (early '70s Japanese psychedelic band; only ever released one album)Electric Light OrchestraEmanuel Ax (classical)Eric ClaptonThe FormatFountains of WayneThe Four Tops (50s-70s soul)Frank SinatraGeorge HarrisonGordon Lightfoot (Canadian folk / country singer)The Grass Roots (60s pop)The Guess WhoHappy End (early 70s Japanese rock / folk group; one of their members later went on to join YMO, and their album Kazemachi Roman was ranked the #1 album of all time by Rolling Stone Japan)The HolliesIsrael Philharmonic Orchestra (Tchaikovsky)Jack JohnsonJim CroceJimi HendrixJohn LennonJohn MayerJohnny CashJoslin Grove Choral SocietyThe KinksL.

Sounds like it would be, though)Steve Miller BandStevie WonderStrawberry Alarm ClockThe TemptationsThey Might Be Giants (90s alternative band that... does stuff. Don't know how else to describe it)Three Dog Night (60s psychedelic rock)Tommy James and the Shondells (60s pop-rock / psych. rock; famous for "Crimson and Clover" and "Mony Mony")Tommy Roe (60s pop)The Traveling Wilburys (the most epic supergroup ever. Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne (ELO), Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty all came together to record an album. They did a second one, but Roy died before it could be finished )The TroggsThe Turtles"Weird Al" YankovicThe WhoThe (Young) Rascals (60s pop-rock)

Also got a few compilation discs of "one-hit wonders" (again mostly from the 1960s), as well as a couple of singletons where I just bought one song off of iTunes / Amazon b/c I liked the way it sounded.
